PREMATURE WRINKLES. Tbey Are the Krcord of T7aonht Forced oa tl.o Face. Wrinkles are as natural to old nsr is a full, smooth face to c-lrilclhno I. They are dna mainly to a certain sl ri-ikace of the muscles a shrinkage which charac terizes more or les? the entire system in the later period of life. It is in conse quence of this general nhr intake that in advanced life tlie height in somewhat lowered; that the substance of the jaws contracts, thus often giving rie, ly pressure on the nerves that pass through the bony canals, to severe and difficult neuralgia, and that the brain enbfitanco becomes reduced in bulk, water filling the vacant epaee. Were it not for the fixed habits and acemnnliitcd resources of a lifetime an old man's brain would not le eqnal to the -work which lie still performs easily. There is, of course, much difference between old people iu this respect, which is duo largely to temperament, habits of thought and cf feeling and modes of life. The papers lately told of a man over 100 years old wliose face was wholly without wrinkles. This was a very ex ceptional case, for the great body of us, if we attain length of days, must take them with the addition of physical de cay. Even the proud belle must make up her mind for wrinkles, but if, as she grows older, she grows in good sense, intelligence and kindly sympathies, her beauty of character will have an attrac tion far beyond beauty of face. While wrinkles result from the natural work ing of the system, they may also be caused by a perverted condition of the system, as are pimples, blotches and boils. Now, the human face, unlike that of brutes, was meant to be the "mirror of the mind," the visible expression of ev ery passion, emotion and inmost feeling. Herein is its chief beauty; hence its numerous muscles and nerves, whereby it is so wonderfully adjusted to this end. But muscles in constant or frequent ex ercise increase in volume, strength and readiness of action; hence habits of thought and feeling become stamped on the face, and we read so easily the character of the proud, the vain, the de ceitful and the sensual man or of the kind, the calm, the energetic, the frank, the candid and the hourst man. liat there is nothing like care and worri meut to plow farrows in the forehead, and these are badly marring tho faces of some men and women. We pass in the streets persons of 33 whose foreheads are more wrinkled than the brow should be at 70. Some of these may have more care than others, but they unnecessarily yield to the tendency to express thciu in the face. Leds Mercury. Luck In Old Shoes. The Chinese value a pair of old boots which have beeu worn by an upright magistrate, and the custom of wishing a friend a "happy foot" is still observed all through Europe. The casual putting on the left shoe on the right foot, put ting it on uneven or crosswise, bursting the latch or tie, lacing it wrong and losing a button are all bad signs. A Yorkshire man will spit in his right shoe before putting it on, when going out on important business, to bring luck, and many an English girl has been known to bang her Loots outside of the window on St. Valentine's night for love luck. Professor Black tells us of a singular superstition "xistiug iu England, which insists that if the youngest daughter of a family marries first her sisters must dance at the wedding without shoes, so as to insure husbands for themselves. Old shoe throwing is done for many purposes. In Ireland the election of a person to almost any cilice is concluded by throwing an old shoe over his head. The gypsies say: Ilurle after an oU shoe, I'll be merry what hero I do. In the isle of Man an old shoe is al ways thrown after the bride, as well as the groom, when leaving their homes, and in the south the oldest person on the plantation, white or black, always throws a fdioo after any one starting on a long journey. It is said that Mine. Fatti and other women of hisrh ptamliug on the stage preserve r.ioyt carefully the boots they wore at. their debut, which they consider lucky to wear on the lirct nights of engagemeut3 forever after.

Mr. James Jones, of tho dru? firm of Jones & Son, Cowden. 111., in speak ing of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that last winter h:s wife was attacked with la grippe, and her case grew so serious that physicians atCowden and Pana could do nothing for her. 'It seemed to develop into hasty con sumption. Having Dr. King's New Discovery in store, and selling lots of it, he took a botte home, and to the surprise of all she began to get better from first dose, and half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well.

Gradually Aeqnirinsr Information Concern. Ing Methods of Collecting; Bill. "When we moved into tho country," said Mr. Changoofair, "I almost won dered at the absolute confidence of the boss of the moving party. It was a long haul, two or three vans, and the bill a matter of 10 or ?50, but they moved everything out of the vans into the houso clean before the boss driver presented the bill. I wondered what they would do if somebody should say then that he would call at the oflioe and settle oi something of that sort. But, then, I knew I was going to pay; that it had been perfectly safe to get the stuff in and collect the bill afterward of me, and I made up my mind that they wero keen men, who knew people when they met them, whom they could trust and whom not. "Well, after some years we moved back. Same concern moved ns in, but they didn't know us at the office any more than if they had never heard of us. Arrived iu the city, the men with the vans "-it was a different crew from that that took ns ont began logging in the things just as the men that moved us out had done in the country. .Nobody said anything about pay, and I wondered again what would happen if they got the stuff all in and then the owner didn't pay. But they kept on hustling the things in just as if they felt perfectly easy and secure about that. "After awhile the stuff was pretty much all in practically all but the piano and I wondered why they hadn't brought that in before, because I had seen it loaded, and I knew it was one oi the last things loaded on at the very rear end of one of the vans. So I went out to see, and there was the piano, right where I had seen it when it was put aboard, at the extreme rear end of the van, while all the .stuff iu front had been taken ont, carried around the end of the piano and on into the house. In front of it the van was empty. "Passing through the hall, I met the head driver, the boss of the party, and he, just casually meeting me in that way in the hall, handed over the bill for the moving, and I paid it on the spot. Then, everything else having been moved in, the whole gang tallied on to the piano and walked it right into the house. "Of course it may have only just hap pened that the piano wasn't moved in until I had paid the bill, but this didn't give me quite such a flattering opinion of myself as the other way had, but it more than confirmed my original opin ion of the shrewdness and ability of the van folks. They made few mistakes and took even fewer risks." New York Sun. The NeichborliDCR of Neighbors. Talking about neighbors people gen erally do, you know quite a good story turned up the other day. Whether or not it is true must bo left to the reader, but certainly it not inaptly illustrates a rather too common weakness of these frequently too distant near ones. An old lady who had recently moved into a fashionable locality with her two daughters was somewhat aggrieved at her distinguished neighbors not calling. In truth, only seven of them did so one to inquire as to the character of a former servant and the other six to se cure subscriptions for various charitable institutions. Under such circumstances the de lights of social life were somewhat cur tailed. Whether or not this went to the old lady's heart cannot be said, but cer tain it is that in a few short weeks she was dead. The neighbors flocked to the funeral. The rooms were crowded. All was pity, love and sympathy. Iu the middle of it all the old lady sat up and said it did her good to see so many kind faces about, while the two daughters handed around coffee and ices, the guests finally departing in the funeral car riages. Brooklyn Life. A Story of Itcaconsfleld. Lord Beaconslielcl was iu theory a female suffragist. But his flirtation was of a very platouie character, for, al though he had often tho power to give praetic.il effect to his pious opinion, he took care never to do so. Once the oppo sition leaders were very anxious to find out what course he intended to pursue iu regard to a certain matter. They turned loose upon him a well known political beauty. 1)0 talked and talked, he gazed and gazed. At length she asked him. He pressed her band, looked unutterable admiration and observrd, "Pretty dar ling!" I remember how my admiration for Lord Beaconsf.cld rose when I first heard this tale. London Truth. .11 People.

The coldest region of the globe, that of Werkojank, in Siberia, where the low est temiH-ratiire of 90 degrees F. has been observed, and the mean of January is 18 degrees F., is inhabited by about 10,500 persons of the Jakut and Lamut races. Iu a large part cf the region, ac cording to the representation of ilr. Sergins Kovalik, in the bulletin of the Geographical society of Irkutsk, the air is so dry and winds are so rare that the intensity of the cold is not fully realized. Farther east there are sometimes terri ble storms. In the summer time the temperature sometimes rises to 8G de grees F. in the shade, while it freezes at night. The latter part of this season is often marked by copious rains and ex tensive inundations. Vegetation is scanty. There are no trees, only meadows. The people hunt fur bearing animals, fish and raise cat tle and reindeer. It requires about eight cows to support a family, four be ing milked iu the summer and two in the winter. The cattle are fed hay in the winter and are allowed to go out oc casionally when it is not too cold, their teats being carefully covered up with felt. Milk is the principal food, occa sionally supplemented with hares, which are quite abundant. The houses arc of wood, covered with clay, and consist of one room, in which the people and their animals live together. The wealthier classes are better provided with lodging and food. The people are very hospita ble, but excessively punctilious concern ing points of honor, such as the place at table. Popular Science Monthly. The Tent liusiii-ss In Winter. Winter is a dull season in the tent business in this latitude and devoted chiefly to making up stock for summer. Some tents are exported, though not a great number. They are sent to Mexico. Central Am erica and the West Indies. Such tents are sold the year around. They are used as quarters for laborers ou railroads, canals and other works. The few tents sold in winter for use iu this region are sold mostly to gyp sies, who buy in winter for summer use. They buy usually secondhand tents, and, buying iu winter, they get good tents cheap. Bnt little is done in rent ing tents in winter, though occasionally a large tent is rented for a cornerstone laying or some public ceremony, and in these modern days such tents are some time steam heated, the pipes being sup plied with steam from portable boilers. New York Sun. Iu IoubW A certain minister, who is not always so careful as he ought to be in making his teaching and his practice correspond, was lately telling some friends a story of adventure. It was a pretty "tall" story, and the minister's 10-year-old lit tle girl was observed to be listening to it very intently.
